Orkin Design and Sony Show Off Roll-Up Laptop Concepts

As if it wasn't cool enough on its own, they went and made the canister look like a lightsaber.

That is amazing! When is this coming out, we need to revolutionize our education system with computers like these!

Now if only they'll put a decent OS on it. Mac or Linux anyone?

First of all.. education systems????? what? this isnt really going to improve classrooms by getting expensive roll-up computers.....
Also please not a mac... that would be just murder

It looks more like a luxury item than a practical item. Why do we need a roll up laptop anyway? We are currently making laptops that are just a few inches thick. And sure it looks cool, but do we really need it? I wouldn't recomend it for classrooms, because kids would probably break it... But that's just my opinion.

well the roll up form would be good for traveling. and that it takes up less room. and ya definally not in a class room, and i don't think that we do but do we need half the things we do.

Yes we have thin laptops already available but the concept that I find appealing is this one actually wraps around it’s own docking station. I can envision the canister being able to accommodate removable storage,etc. Additionally the OLED technology should allow you to customize the keyboard. You could have language specific keyboards, application hot key specific keyboards, etc.

Another answer to a question nobody asked.

Well this is just one of the luxury items now. It could be quite common in the future. It could incorporate more technologies in the future and become tougher and could be competitive with inflexible computers. Answere this question. If they were the same price same computeing power and same reliability, which would you buy? Remeber the future always make it better.

looks cool and I want one but it also looks like it could brake easaly.

I just can't wait for the switch computer. As light and as big as a mobile phone, but flips out into a full size laptop at the press of a button.

Way too cool!

@reeko I agree this would eliminate a lot of language problems and especially changing from QWERTY to Dvorak or another layout

i want this, how much will it cost once it comes out?

True laptops are getting thinner but, there is no laptop that I know that has as big a screen as that. One problem with the design though is the screen could go bonkers after opening and closing it all the time. That's a problem they might be able to overcome in the future. Cool marketing idea too!

forget the ipad, am need to go get me one of these beauties! :)

really, i think our laptops are good enough now if u drop urs it shatters
b4 just the battery came out and u where fine, now you have to buy a new one because u where stupid enough to drop or wreck the old one

By the one and only.........

HatisBig

when is it going to be in the market, how much it will cost

This is just mind-blowing........this is perfect for...for...for, anybody!!! The uses are never ending. But one question is their a disc drive?
Then again by that time there wont be any need for cd and dvd-rom. :D
This is perfect for graphic designers!

Really amazing! Hope this can be real not just a concept laptop. Still waiting for this product. :)

Sony VAIO gives users the performance and reliability, have become accustomed to the VAIO line. Buyers want to take advantage of additional features that come with all the computers in Costco worth taking this device, because the price is well worth the accompanying bonuses. If you care less about these benefits and more about the total price then add value to consider the Sony VAIO, which offers the same performance at a lower price.
